Stopped in for lunch on our way through town. The restaurant was slammed with only 2 servers but they were doing an amazing job! We got seated right away and didn't wait long for food or to pay etc. We just did the salad bar and everything tasted nice and fresh and flavors were great. Loved the corn chowder! read more

Moses was a amazing server, he took great care of us the moment we walked in. This hidden gem inside the Winnemucca Inn has breakfast served 6am-11am with dinner starting at 4pm. They also have a lunch menu too, but I was focused on trying their chicken fried steak breakfast bc everywhere else has the deep fried hockey puck version. Garden Cafe's version was freshly breaded (I think, the flaky coating reminded me of panko - katsu vibes). I asked for the gravy on the side, so I could the breaded cube steak crunchy. The eggs and potatoes were also delicious. Marble rye toast was also an unexpected treat. Hubby's smash burger was good too. read more

The past several visits, we have had to wait at the desk for several minutes before anyone would even acknowledge us. The staff would see us, even the manager would see us, and they would keep talking and totally ignore waiting customers. Servers would walk past, like they didn't even see us. No acknowledgment whatsoever. When we would finally get seated, we would have to wait for someone to finally take our order, during one visit the server brought us our water as we were getting ready to pay the check. I understand they're short staffed, but they're losing a lot of business. We've stopped going, as well as other folks in town who have experienced the same lack of service. The Winnemucca Inn restaurant used to be a very successful, friendly, enjoyable restaurant. Since the new ownership, it's taken a turn for the worst. Sad, they can do better... read more

We stopped in here at the Garden Cafe in Winnemucca on our way Westbound on the 80 headed from Elko. It's a good stopping point as there's not many other towns out here on the 80 with better food choices. Battle Mountain has great gas prices, but not as much for food. We're seated just fine and just water to drink at this point in the day with a lot of driving ahead. I got the chicken fried steak and my friend got an omelet served with hashbrowns. Two coffees as well, were kept refilled just fine. All the food was good, normal coffee shop quality. Service was friendly as well, I'd stop here again passing thru on the 80. read more

Nice diner in the winnimucca inn casino. No online ordering you can probably call ahead or play some slots while you wait if you want to get it to go. The chicken fried steak was great and loved the mashed potatoes. Vegetables were steamed and very soft and delicious. Hearty meal breading on steak was fantastic with the gravy. read more

Meh. I had a hot turkey sandwich (with chicken gravy - they said that's all they have), mashed potatoes and vegetables. My wife had the taco salad, which was huge. Both meals were extremely bland in my opinion and needed lots of salt and pepper. I don't believe the hamburger in the taco salad had any taco seasoning at all, just crumbled plain hamburger. It came with some salsa which helped a bit, but still not much flavor. Dessert was a chocolate shake, which was just so so. Runny, with not enough ice cream and too much milk. Our server was great, and they do seem to be well staffed now. Total tab before gratuity was $40. read more

It's Monday night and little to choose from as many establishments closed. Thanks to Yelp reviews we tried Garden Cafe inside the Winnemucca Casino. No sign that says it just a big "Restaurant" sign. We were escorted to a table and advised that they were short staff with only two servers. Ouch expectations dashed. We were provided water and menus. We decided quickly what we wanted via a fairly extensive menu: salads, burgers, steaks, fish, etc. No hard liquor is served tho. Well Dena arrived quickly to take our orders. Things getting better? Dena is a dynamo and we received great prompt service including her checking on how everything was. My wife & I both ordered burgers of differing variety. Served back to us promptly & they were delicious: cooked right, flavorful & hot. The potato salad was great too. So good food & awesome service what more can you ask for? Ask for Dena for sure as she truly a hard worker and clincher the 5 stars. read more

This restaurant is inside a casino. No signage identifies "Garden Cafe". It shares the smoke-filled air of the casino so I did not eat there. read more

Nice place has great service and food was yummy, wife's was bland she used some of my sauce and made it much more flavorful

This is a must do dining experience in Winnemucca! The name is not on the building nor is the address. But it is inside the Casino. The dining area is spacious and decorated beautifully. Our server, Dena quickly took our order and within a few minutes we were served. She was sooo attentive during our entire meal that we would rate her 10 stars if possible!! The Chicken Fried Steak is prepared here and not pre purchased. The gravy was plentiful and tastes homemade. The portions are enough for two, so we are taking half home for another memorable dinner tomorrow night. Thanks Dena for making our dining experience outstanding!! read more

Pretty average food and pricy the food is pretty bland me living in Winnemucca for now around 5 years and this restaurant gets a whole remodel and becomes more expensive and the food just gets worse. I recommend the Martin if you want good quality food! read more

Would have liked to see some protein on the salad bar but, short of that, my meal was good. Opted for the turkey burger - well seasoned and cooked to still be juicy (not dry). Picked onion rings as my side. This was a quick "gas and go" for me. Waitress was nice, and attentive without being pushy. I don't care for the cigarette smoke but did understand the restaurant is in a casino, so, I get it. read more

Dena is the sweetest person. Amazing customer service. She took such good care of us, we stopped in again on our way home. Salad bar is smaller, but very fresh. Marinated mozzarella, Greek olives, super fresh greens... very impressed. I consider this place a gem. Will go back next time I'm traveling through. read more

Great! We'd been on a motorcycle trip for 14 days and had our fill of fast food. The Garden Cafe was close to our hotel, had a fabulous salad bar and great food. Staff were friendly. read more

Very good service and very good food! Very friendly. Wait time for our food was 10 mins will definitely be going back!

This place was awesome. We were seated at dinner time within minutes. We ordered within minutes and had our food within 20 minutes. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was awesome! We enjoyed their signature Kobe beef burger and their all American burger. So good! We will definitely be back next time we are in town. Thank you! read more

Lunch time stop and thought a casino would be novel on a road trip. Excellent salad bar, many many items to pick from-all fresh and at a proper temperature. Quick and reasonably priced. read more

In an area where dining options are limited, Garden Cafe is a solid choice. Excellent and friendly service, reasonable prices and good menu selection (breakfast available late). Served very quickly, and accurately. Food came out fast. Recommended. read more

Had the fish & onion rings. More batter ( not good tasting) than fish which was not good either. My wife had French Dip. Big hard roll, meat was ok, dip was salty. The service was good. read more

Listen the food is basic, yes! But they are open till 10pm and more importantly the staff is very friendly and attentive. Plus, at a normal restaurant when you sub a small salad for fries, rarely do they allow you to get ceasar instead of the usual ranch or vinnegrette. read more

We stopped here for a Thanksgiving meal! As other the road truck drivers weren't sure if we were going to get the traditional Turkey day meal, but I found on facebook. TURKEY or HAM or combo with soup and salad bar, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, vegetables (peas &carrots), candied yams and a slice of pie for dessert. It made me and my co-driver very happy. I'll be back sometime other than Thanksgiving Day to update my review, but the quality of the food was very good and the salad&soup bar was amazing!!! read more

Great lunch as we trekked our way to Yellowstone from the SF Bay Area. The special of the day burger and fries was huge and delicious! And the crab salad sandwich ... unusual for a place so far from an ocean ... was a winner. The western style decor, friendly staff, nearby slot machines and casual atmosphere made For an enjoyable great value lunch. read more

wow... traveling, we have stopped & eaten here for many years! Food has been exceptional... today was terrible.. It took 45 minutes to get cold food.. I have never seen hash browns that were just white.... nor had a piece of toast that was so small... 4 bites... so whole meal was cold, turnover time too long & it was not cheap!!! So sad.. especially when I heard the next table say " our food is cold" & the waitress said " that's not my fault".... We will be finding a new place to eat read more

I'm really not sure why this place has such good reviews. Yes, the service was good. Polite staff and food came out fast. However, the food it way overpriced for the quality. The restaurant itself is in a casino, so the smell of cigarettes surrounds you as you eat. The restaurant itself was not that clean. We had to move our table over because of where they put us and the floor was disgusting. The chairs... oh wow, those alone would be the cause of me never coming back. They were black. I felt gross sitting in them.. I guess if you like to gamble it would be an okay place.. I'm pretty sure you get free food vouchers if play. But other than that I would not recommend. read more

Really enjoyed our meal here....nice salad bar. The French dip was real beef, not rubbery. The hamburger was good, too. The restaurant is not labelled, "Garden Cafe" so it was almost impossible to find. Turns out it's inside the casino, which is why it's open 24 hours. Nice to be able to get a good meal at all hours that is reasonably priced. The Salad bar included a delicious homemade meatball soup (different soup featured each day) and was $10.95 alone or $4.95 w/ meal. read more

Lunch stop on a trip east. The food was great, the service was fast, and the price was right! You walk in through the casino. I was worried about smoke, but it was not an issue at all. Nice salad bar!! Easy parking!! It's a worthy stop if you want a decent sit down meal at a good price! read more

This was a nice place for breakfast and for lunch. Lots of smoke in the area so this was a good respite from local fires. Food was good. Servers were attentive. read more

The Ceaser's salad I ordered had wilted lettuce, more salad dressing than I like, and chicken pieces that were dry, hard, and tasteless. Smoke from the casino drifted in causing me to cough, as I'm sensitive to it. I'll try someplace else next time I'm in Winnemucca. read more

Yes! We stopped in here on the way back home from Yellowstone on route to California. The salad/soup bar was FRESH and yummy. There was a good array of fresh toppings and dressings. The bread was warm and the tortilla soup was excellent as well. You can tell the chef put love into the salad bar and the rest of the food. I would recommend to get a light meal and indulge in the all you can eat soup and salad. It's a great place to stop and get a bite and maybe do a little gambling since it's located in the casino. The only con- cigarette smell inside the casino, but the restaurant does not allow smoking and they do a good job of filtering out the smoke. (After all its Nevada and most people smoke everywhere) read more

Best salad bar I've seen in a long time. Scoop some cheese baguette and soup as well. I always come to this place when I'm in town it's mandatory. Would recommend the chicken fingers over the chicken fried steak or the open faced turkey. Need to try the French dip asap. The ribeye steak was on point. read more

Stopped halfway through a long road trip for a bite to eat. The salad bar was a refreshing change from usual road food. Very fresh lettuce! read more

We stopped here on our way to Twin Falls, ID. Little did I know it was in a casino. I had a turkey sandwich which was fresh and good. Service was very good. Because it is in a casino expect people smoking. People here are very nice. read more

We stopped here for a late lunch and got the salad bar. Soup of the day was cream of cauliflower and it was delicious! The bread was stale but we asked for new bread and our waitress promptly had it replaced and even made us a little plate of bread to our table. The salad & fruit bar was not as robust as it appears in the Yelp photo but the ingredients were fresh so we were happy. read more

Traveling cross-country in early September 2019 we stopped in Winnemucca, Nevada, for the night and our hotel clerk at the Holiday Motel across the street recommended this restaurant. We ordered dinner, including the salad bar. We would have had plenty of excellent food and been well-satisfied with only ordering the salad bar! What a fantastic array of ingredients to top the salad, and there was also soup and bread in abundance. We will definitely stop here again when in the area - in fact, I'd go out of my way a few miles to enjoy this salad bar again! And besides great food and great value, our waitress was exceptionally friendly, helpful and patient! read more

Typical casino cafe with 24 hour service. Breakfast served all day, fresh salad bar, varied menu selections. Breakfast was very good.

People are right ... the salad bar is fresh and has variety. I was full after two plates, one of them being full of fruit for dessert. Clam chowder was the soup and it was some of the best I have had. The bread with the chowder was good, chewy and flavorful just how I like it. The hubs had the Monty Christo sandwich and said it was good. They had regular fries and beer batter fries, he had to try the beer batter fries and I snuck one. They were good but not as remarkable as you would think the name implies. He had the carrot cake for dessert and said it was good. read more

Very nice dinner on our overnight stay in Winnemucca. We were both seeking healthy options and Garden Cafe delivered. My wife enjoyed grilled cod with veggies and I enjoyed the extensive salad bar with delicious soup. Will definitely return on our next trip. read more

This is my favorite in all of Winnemucca. Service is amazing, Kim is always the best with the hubs and me. Everything going on the menu is always awesomely delish, and they're never too busy. We love each this place. read more
